The traits of “trait ecologists”: An analysis of the use of trait and functional trait terminology [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
AbstractTrait and functional trait approaches have revolutionized ecology improving our understanding of community assembly, species coexistence, and biodiversity loss. Focusing on traits promotes comparability across spatial and organizational scales, but terms must be used consistently.

ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL LEAF TRAIT VARIATION AMONG THE DOMINANT UNDERSTOREY SPECIES IN THE PINE FOREST OF MORNI HILLS, PANCHKULA, HARYANA [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2021
The functionaldiversity is an essential concept in the field of ecology. It refers to the relative abundance, range, and value of the functional traits present in a given community or ecosystem.

Narcissistic Traits and Executive Functions [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Several personality disorders have been associated with cognitive impairment, including executive functions like working memory. Yet, it is unclear whether subclinical expression in non-clinical persons is associated with cognitive functioning. Recent studies indicate that non-clinical subjects might, in fact, perform better with increasing moderate to

Functional Traits 2.0: The power of the metabolome for ecology [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2022
Abstract A major aim of ecology is to upscale attributes of individuals to understand processes at population, community and ecosystem scales.

Function-valued traits in evolution [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2013
Many biological characteristics of evolutionary interest are not scalar variables but continuous functions. Given a dataset of function-valued traits generated by evolution, we develop a practical, statistical approach to infer ancestral function-valued traits, and estimate the generative evolutionary process.

The best of both worlds: Combining lineage‐specific and universal bait sets in target‐enrichment hybridization reactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2021
Premise Researchers adopting target‐enrichment approaches often struggle with the decision of whether to use universal or lineage‐specific probe sets.

Mycorrhizal fungal and tree root functional traits: Strategies for integration and future directions

Ecosphere, 2023
Plant functional traits offer ecologists quantifiable characteristics that may be used to determine the underlying mechanisms and drivers of processes at scales ranging from individual plants to entire ecosystems. While research on belowground functional

Assemblage and functional categorization of dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) from the Pantanal [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The Pantanal is one of the world’s largest tropical wetland areas and harbors high mammal biomass. There is no formal list of dung beetle species, and studies on their functional roles have never being carried out in Pantanal.

Genetic factors of functional traits

World Rabbit Science, 2021
Selection of functional traits is a challenge for researchers, but an increasingly necessary objective due to the growing concern regarding animal welfare and overcoming the problems of reducing antibiotic use in rabbit production without undermining the
